Connectogen - Research Collaboration Platform
01. Overview
Platform enhancing collaboration among healthcare and biomedical researchers, used by Emory University, Georgia Tech, and Morehouse. Features include user profiles, project management, mentorship activities, and real-time notifications. Developed with a team under Emory University's School of Medicine leadership.
02. Deep Dive
Connectogen was born from a clear need to break down silos between major research institutions in the Atlanta area. Guided by leadership at the Emory University School of Medicine, our team architected a full-stack web platform using Next.js and Node.js. The application serves as a central hub where biomedical researchers, students, and faculty can discover synergistic projects, manage ongoing research tasks, and foster meaningful mentorships. We heavily leveraged WebSockets to implement real-time messaging and notifications, ensuring that critical updates on time-sensitive research aren't missed. The entire monorepo is managed using Turborepo, allowing our distributed engineering team to iterate quickly without compromising build performance or code quality.
